The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

My train from Shrewsbury was delayed, so had some time to kill. Bella Napoli was just a few mins up the hill. Service was friendly & efficient. The pizza i had was really nice. Great little place.

We randomly stumbled across this restaurant one night and we fell in love! Authentic romantic cosy place, fantastic food fresh and cooked as you like, service was really good and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

It’s a shame that the service of this restaurant lets the whole experience down as the food is delicious. It was Mother’s Day so we knew it would be busy, but the service really was not good enough and there was not enough staff to cope with all the tables. We were sat for 15 minutes without menus. We asked for menus and then had to ask again for children’s menus. After 30 minutes, we finally ordered drinks. They arrived and one of our drinks was missing so had to ask again for it. Ordered food and asked for children’s meals to come with the starters. Starts arrived and children’s meals did not. When the mains finally arrived, one of the children’s meals was wrong so it had to be made again. One of the side dishes was also missing which never arrived. One of the dishes was meant to be a pasta dish but lasagne was served instead. Ordered more drinks which didn’t turn up so had to ask again. The children’s meal eventually arrived after being in the restaurant for 1 hour 20 minutes - bearing in mind we’d initially asked for it to come with the starter. The meal eventually turned up and we attempted to order another drink, which again, never arrived. Ordered coffees and desserts which took another 20 minutes to arrive. Spoke to the manager about the mishap with food - no apology - was just told it would be taken off the bill. The food (when we eventually got it) was delicious but the service was awful which is a real shame. Unfortunately, it has really put us off from wanting to return.

Vinimos aquí para el almuerzo y nos lo pasamos de maravilla! El personal era tan servicial y atento, que no podían hacer más por nosotros. Las pizzas eran deliciosas, las mejores que hemos probado! Recomiendo encarecidamente comer aquí cuando visite Port Lympne, no te decepcionará. El entorno mirando hacia los animales era simplemente increíble!

Last minute visit due to travel plan cancellation as a result of the Heathrow incident on 21 March 2025. Have visited here before on a Sunday in Winter and had the roast chicken. Had this again - their roasts are thoroughly recommended. Huge portions with great service.

Fantastic meal and drinks tonight,best meal we have had in a long time. We will be back again soon. 🙂

Everyone loved the food and the staff were so catering to different dietary needs. Wonderful time, lovely atmosphere and they went above any beyond

Fui aquí por un chocolate caliente y terminé comprando un Bailey’s hot chocolate, que estaba delicioso. El servicio al cliente era genial y el personal aquí era tan encantador y acogedor. Sin embargo, el gerente era un poco poco poco profesional y parecía ser muy micro - la gestión del personal.

The veggie fajitas are to die for! Absolutely loved this place. Me, husband and kids had dinner on a Monday night. Great vibe, lovely staff, really tasty food - we were so happy with the vegetarian selection and they catered so well for my wee girl who has a diary intolerance. We’ll be back ☺️ Highly recommend!

Amazing pizza and lovely service!

Hemos estado yendo aquí desde hace unos años y siempre recibimos una cálida bienvenida. Siempre empiezo con uno de sus cócteles que suele ser un Cosmopolitan que es uno de los mejor hechos que he probado en Londres y en todo el mundo. Puedes elegir desde su menú principal o uno de sus especiales desde el tablero de especiales. Esta vez empecé con uno de mis entrantes favoritos, Mango al Granchio (mango y cangrejo blanco) y mi pareja tenía los mejillones. Para nuestra red tuvimos cordero y una lubina, seguido de un postre de helado de ron y pasas todo acompañado de uno de sus buenos vinos blancos. Te recomiendo que hagas una visita si estás en la zona.

Authentic and so delicious! Service was impressively fast and the menu offers a nice variety of choice. Lovely staff too! The tiny matron was a proper character - a little brusque but in an endearing way. All the other staff were very friendly and welcoming.

We hosted our wedding reception at Finos and it was nothing short of perfect. From start to finish, everything was seamless, beautifully arranged, and filled with thoughtful touches. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was exceptional, and every member of staff made us and our guests feel so welcome. If we could give a 10-star review, we absolutely would—for the service, the food, and the whole unforgettable experience. A very special thank you to Logan, who was an absolute star throughout the entire planning process. From our first conversation to the big day, Logan was endlessly helpful, kind, and attentive—truly the loveliest person I’ve ever met. It was a joy working with them, and they played such a huge role in making everything feel so smooth and stress-free. Truly felt like a friend!! To our complete surprise, we were welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco, two stunning glass flutes to keep, a huge celebratory balloon, and the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers. It was such a kind and personal gesture that truly made us feel so special. It was a pleasure to celebrate our special day at Finos and we’ll always be grateful for the memories made there.

This is an excellent restaurant situated just off the main road on a quiet street.And could be easily missed.Beautifully prepared food and excellent service from Ella and Georgia.

Dimos de casualidad con este pequeño restaurant de barrio, donde la comida es muy buena, el ambiente animado, la relación precio calidad súper, y el lugar agradable lo recomiendo 100%
